Lacy Sunshine - Emily Spring Ladybugs

Good morning fellow bloggers! The card that I have to share with you today is one which I was inspired to make when I saw Chris (Always about Colour) demonstrate it on C&C tv and also at Sir Stampalot a few weeks ago. The card Chris made was a 6x6 card so I have had to change the sizes as I wanted to make mine 8x8.

Basically I made the bottom shelve by cutting a piece of card 41/2" long by 8". I scored at 1/2" and again at 1", this creates the shelve, with the 1/2" piece to adhere to the base card.. The second shelve I made by cutting a piece of card 7" long x 61/4". I scored at 1/2" and again at 1" this again creates a shelve with the 1/2" to adhere to the base card. Cover the shelves in your chosen papers and adhere to the base card (also covered in chosen papers). I hope this makes sense!!! Not sure that mine is sitting as nicely as Chris's though:(
